Sneaky Snacker

Thursday's are typically grocery shopping days.  I load up Claire and Grayson and we hit the store.

Shopping with two toddlers is not my idea of a good time.  Sometimes it goes surprisingly well.  Everyone is happy and listens.  Other times, Claire is rolling around on the floor, sometimes screaming and almost always I have to drag her away from the packages of lunch meats and sandwich cheeses because she's stacking them like they are blocks.  That's always fun.

But, today, shopping hit a whole new high!  It was a mix day.  There was some happiness mixed with a little of Claire's floor rolling.  Even with the floor rolling, we got our shopping done in a relatively short amount of time.  We got our meats and headed to pick out our veggies, where, good day or bad day, it's always a war with Claire.  I have to constantly tell her to get her hands out of the packages of strawberries and the bags of grapes.

I was picking out my vegetables and trying to distract Claire.  She likes to put my veggies in the baggies, so I turned my back to the cart for a couple of seconds and opened the bag to distract her so she'd put the veggies in.  Once we got the vegetables I needed, I said, "Let's go home!"

As I was putting all of our groceries up and double checking all of my price checks and coupons, I heard the cashier talking to Grayson.  When I was done.  I looked at the cashier and told her what I was price matching and then she looked at Grayson and said, "You are so cute!"  Then she looked at me and said, "Aww...He must be hungry."  I had no idea what she was talking about because he had a snack cup full of goldfish.  Then she said, "Kind of reminds me of my daughter trying to eat whole potatoes."  I was like, "Huh?" and then I looked down and there was Grayson, sitting happily, eating a whole tomato like it was an apple.  I said, "Oh my gosh!  Where did you get that?!"  And all of the cashiers around me started laughing and Awwwwing at the cute little blue eyed boy who had managed to sneak a tasty tomato snack.

So, note to self.....Stand between the cart and the vegetables to prevent future sneaky snacking.
